Shops and shop windows inside the pedestrian underpass underneath Nezavisimost square will be turned into exhibition space, beneath the glass dome covering the ruins of the ancient Serdica. Artists from Bulgaria, USA, Switzerland, Czechia and Ukraine will be displaying their work.
Tracey Snelling from the US will be taking part with her miniature towns, constructed on the basis of her impressions of Sofia’s architecture and life in the city, after spending a fortnight here. Choreographer Viktor Ruban from Ukraine will work with young people and with bystanders to create choreography together.
